Good morning Town and everyone, favorite 8-bit home computer if you have experience with them?

For it was the #appleii , I remember playing King's Quest, Battle Chess and a few other games on it!

Hopefully I have some time and energy to set up my MSX and play some retrogames tomorrow for #MaySiXth before I have to go to work. :)

I wish I had taken more photos of my computers back in the interesting time before PCs and Macs took over. I went through so many.

I so wish that.

Edit: A small gallery of photos I did happen to take of some of my systems from long past = https://www.flickr.com/photos/blakespot/albums/72157669919294028/
